This adventure was truly memorable and one of a kind. The secluded setting, far from crowds, made it even more special as we were the only ones in this stunning wilderness. Our guide Michael was knowledgeable, enjoyable, and friendly; he proved to be a skilled airboat pilot. Riding in the airboat was exhilarating! As a bonus, Michael captured some fantastic video clips of our experience that we could download. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to explore a less-traveled part of Alaska. Excellent job!
Our spontaneous trip the day before was met with great hospitality, even on July 4th. The guides were very knowledgeable about Alaska, Homer, and Kachemak Bay. Duncan shared fascinating stories about the local area and its residents. We spotted moose tracks, bear tracks, eagles, and numerous harbor seals. The grandkids, ages 10 and 7, loved sitting in the boat's co-pilot seat. Overall, it was an entertaining and informative experience that allowed us to explore some of the hidden gems around Homer.
This was an incredible way to explore a different side of Homer. We encountered moose, seals, loons, sea otters, and even a pair of bald eagles. This tour made for a fantastic afternoon.
We had a fantastic experience. Duncan was outstanding—very engaging and incredibly knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this to anyone without hesitation.
This trip was an absolute highlight. We had a blast, and our guide, Duncan, was both entertaining and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone.
Jen was fantastic to coordinate with as we made several adjustments to our plans. Micheal skillfully handled the challenging switchback road, and Duncan was an expert air boater, prioritizing both our enjoyment and safety. He interacted wonderfully with our 7-year-old. We encountered a lot of wildlife and explored some of Alaska's most secluded backcountry. I highly recommend taking a trip with this team.
This was an immersive experience in nature that engaged all my senses. There was always something new to discover around every bend of the river. I appreciate Alaska Airboat Adventures for providing such a wonderful experience.
This experience was both thrilling and educational, suitable for all ages and abilities. The family-owned business allowed us to discover Alaska's hidden gems in a unique way. From the initial phone call with Jen, who became a friend, the service was exceptional. She created a custom itinerary for my family and arranged a special riverside lunch with everything we needed for a personal gathering, which helped us bond with Duncan and Sutherland, two knowledgeable and engaging individuals who enhanced our day. Sutherland picked us up and conveyed intriguing stories about the region and its residents as we drove to the famed “end of the road.” The route was beautiful, featuring blooming wildflowers, a pheasant sighting, and stunning views of the bay and glaciers. Upon arrival, we met Michael in his impressive 6-wheeled amphibious vehicle, making our muddy ride through the backcountry an adventure in itself. The airboat ride with our guide Duncan began with a comprehensive safety briefing. As we navigated toward the Fox River, we encountered playful seals and their pups, creating unforgettable moments with their curious behavior. The scenery became even more majestic upon reaching the Fox River, where we were fully immersed in the untouched Alaskan landscape. The extensive knowledge of Duncan and Sutherland truly brought the experience to life. This tour was not just a simple outing; it was a memorable journey into Alaska's wild, designed by passionate people.
Prepare for an incredible experience. The crew was fantastic, highly knowledgeable, and professional. Keep your eyes open for wildlife like moose, eagles, seals, and maybe even a bear.
What a fantastic day we had cruising over the headwaters of Katchemak Bay on this fun airboat adventure suitable for everyone. We enjoyed stunning views, spotted harbor seals, and found moose and bear tracks as the wind blew through our hair and sand occasionally tickled our faces. A big thanks to our driver Sutherland for safely getting us to and from the airboat, and to the captain for providing an entertaining ride filled with fascinating insights about this unique Alaskan region. This activity is essential for anyone visiting Homer.
